Our 2 Days / 1 Night Sahara Desert Tour from Fes is the perfect getaway for travelers who want to experience the breathtaking landscapes of Morocco in a short time. This adventure takes you from the cultural capital of Fes through the Middle Atlas Mountains, cedar forests, and the stunning Ziz Valley, before reaching the golden dunes of Merzouga and Erg Chebbi.
You’ll enjoy a camel trek across the Sahara Desert at sunset, a traditional Moroccan dinner, and an unforgettable night under the stars in a Berber desert camp. On the second day, after a magical sunrise, your journey continues through Rissani’s lively souk and Erfoud’s fossil workshops, before heading back to Fes.
This tour combines nature, culture, and adventure, making it ideal for those who want to capture the essence of Morocco’s desert in just two days.
Your desert adventure begins in Fes, where our driver/guide will pick you up. We head south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing the charming town of Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco,” and the cedar forests of Azrou, home to Barbary monkeys.
After crossing the Zad Pass (2,178 m), we stop in Midelt for lunch. The journey continues through the Ziz Valley, with its vast palm groves and dramatic landscapes. By late afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga, gateway to the Sahara.
Here, your camel will be waiting to take you across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Enjoy the spectacular sunset over the desert, followed by dinner and traditional music at a Berber camp, where you’ll spend the night in a comfortable tent under the starry sky.
Overnight: Desert Camp in Merzouga (dinner included).
Wake up early to witness the unforgettable sunrise over the Sahara dunes. After breakfast and a refreshing shower, you’ll return by camel to Merzouga village.
Our journey back to Fes takes us through Rissani, known for its traditional market and as the birthplace of Morocco’s ruling dynasty. We then continue to Erfoud, famous for its fossilized marble workshops.
From here, we drive through the Tafilalet palm groves and the Middle Atlas, retracing our path past Azrou and Ifrane before arriving in Fes, where your Sahara desert tour ends.
